CAS Mix Up October Challenge

Layered Stenciling tends to be pretty busy. I made my panel and then cut it down to a smaller size so there would be lots of white space in the background. Luckily I had still left it a little long, because I first heat embossed the sentiment in white and it didn't go well. I had to cut off the bottom and ended up with this smaller panel. :) It worked out in the end. Even with the sentiment in black, it's a little difficult to read it with all the pattern in-behind.

The main panel is done on watercolour paper. First I smooshed together Broken China (Distress Oxide) with Twisted Citron (Distress Ink). I placed the Clock stencil over top and sponged on Salty Ocean. Next I took a piece of drywall tape and sponged on white distress paint over top in a couple of spots. I used more drywall tape with Peacock Feathers ink to sponge a little background on the card base that is peeking out from under the main panel.

We are excited to have Sue (Sue's Card Craft) as our Guest Designer this month. Sue won August's Alcohol Ink challenge. Make sure to check out the challenge blog to see Sue's card and the cards from the rest of the DT. And then come join us!

What a gorgeous colourway. Love how one of the stencils goes over onto the card base....eye catching detail x Also love how you used the drywall and sponged in white and then in peacock feathers. Thank you for the inspiration.

Oh WOW! Loll this is gorgeous. What fabulous stenciling on the main panel but really love how you have got a touch showing behind it on your card stock. Lovely soft colours. Love your sentiment as it is so true. Looks great in black.

What I love about your style is that you use mixed media technique and still manage to make an uncluttered CAS card out of it! And here you did it again! This card looks fantastic and I love how you stenciled a little on the white card, too!

This is really something, Loll! Love the stenciling on this as well as the fact that you carried it over just a bit outside the focal! This one is a feast for the eyes! I looked at it for quite a while taking it all in. Fabulous color combination!

I love your sponged blue and green inks for your background and then began your fun and creative sponged stenciling. You chose the Perfect sentiment to go with your stenciled background! I had no problem reading your sentiment. I like how you added a bit more dry wall stenciling behind your main image too. TFS Loll. Hugs

Ajaaj! Great colors, Loll. My beloved :-)) You so beautifully used various templates to create this wonderful card. I love how part of the image moves to the main panel of the card. This is a very beautiful card!Hugs,BozenA

Beautiful layers of colors, Loll! I love the stenciling peeking out from under the panel! I never though of using drywall tape as a stencil. It's such a clever idea. Now I see daily items with different eyes. Thank you so much for your inspiration! Hideko

A fabulous card Loll, and I just adore the colours which go together beautifully and love the clock stencil and the dry wall tape pattern in the background and the extra bit added to the base card too. x
